Tala/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS SIMON, a citizen of, the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners; and I do hereby declare the'following to be afull, clear, and

exact description of. the same.

My invention relates to the class of burners for use with liquid hydrocarbons, more especially crude oil.

The object of my invention is to provide a burner in which the commingling 'of the oil lwith whatever elastic gas is used such as steam or air, Is made under practically atomic or comminuted conditions, resulting in a thorough mixture. I

To this end my invention consists, primarily, in means within the burner for introducing the one ingredient of the mixture into the other by a multitude of fine jets; and it also consists in the novel burner which I shall now describe by reference to the accompanying drawing, in

-whicli the gure is a longitudinal section of vmy burner, the interior pipes and the various connections being shown in full elevation.

, A is the outside shell or casing of the burner, to the forward extremity of which is fitted, by any suitable form ofconnection, the nozzle-tip B, the exit-aperture of which may be of any suitable shape. Upon the rear endrof the casing A is-itted in any suitable manner the entrancechamber. C. In the chamber Cis across-partition D, forming a head, to which are-fitted the y pipes E, which open through the head D and extend forwardly in the casing A to near its tip, and said pipes at their forward ends are closed by plugs or caps e, while their rear ends are open. Each of these pipes E is provided with a number of holes c', which may be relatively arranged in any suitable manner.

gas, such as steam or air, under pressure-in practice, from a source of steam. With the Also with said chamtion H from a source of Water or steam, said connection being here shown as communicating with the steam connection F and controlled by a cock L.

rI`he operation of the burner is as follows:

The connection H is normally cut off by its cock le, as its function is simply to clean out the burner when required. Steam is admitted .throughthe connection F to the chamber C iii front of the cross-partition, and thence passes into the casing A, enveloping the pipes E. Theoil is admitted through the connection G into the chamber C back of the cross- `partition, and thence passes into the pipes E. From the holes c in these pipes it is forced oiitinto the steam in a multitude of line jets',

practically atomized and even vaporized as it. nears the outer ends of the pipes, thus mingling with the steam under substantially atomic conditions, resulting in a thorough mixture.

To clean the interiorl of the burner, water or steam may be forced in through' the connections F. and H. y

It is obvious that the entrances of the steam and the oil may be relatively reversed without departing 4from the spirit of my inventionthat is to say, the oil might be admitted to the casing A and the steam to the pery forated pipes E, in which case the steam would be introduced into the oil by a multitude of jets producing a similar atomic condition under which the mixture is made.- The pipes E in addition to the holes c may, if desired, be

provided with slits e2, which, especially where the oil is not under great pressure, will supplement the holes in delivering a sufficient quantity of the oil to the steam.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
